Four is in his prime now. Beautiful thing, with his flower now fully developed. He is however a little saggy in this picture due to it being a hot day. When it’s warm, since they are so large and their pots are so small, they’ll sag unless watered every couple of hours, which is obviously impractical when we’re both at work. Ah well.

Next year I intend to grow them in the ground rather than in pots which straight away eliminates the watering and falling-over problems. Not sure how I’ll keep the slugs off them though!
